About Lam Research
Lam Research makes wafer fabrication equipment, mainly for etch and deposition. Deposition builds thin layers of material on a silicon wafer, and etch then removes parts of those layers to carve out circuit patterns. Chipmakers such as TSMC, Samsung, Intel and Micron buy this kind of tool to make logic and memory chips. The company was founded in 1980 by David K. Lam, is headquartered in Fremont, California, and is listed on Nasdaq as LRCX.

Custom Silicon
Custom silicon means a company designs its own chips for its own products or data centers instead of buying standard parts. The chip is made by a foundry such as TSMC, but the design belongs to the customer.
